The Squirrel and the Fox “Spring or Autumn” Challenge #51

Good Evening Crafters! It’s time for another The Squirrel and the Fox challenge!! For this challenge we had to choose either a spring theme or an autumn one. I chose a spring theme because I cannot get over the fact that summer is almost gone. I want it to start all over again. The image I am using is from our sponsor Delicious Doodles. I felt that the image looked great without having to color it in so I left it that way. I added some seam binding ribbon ( which you can puchase online at www.vssweetideas.com) and some wood veneer birds.

Filofax Project Life Template

Good evening my fellow crafters!

I recently became a filofax addict after receiving my first ever filofax domino. I am in love with it! I really needed this in my life especially now with a newborn and my six year old. Life tends to get a bit hectic when you have doctors appointment and school dates you need to remember so hopefully my filo will help me keep organized. So far it has. Another way my filo will help me stay organized is by using an insert I recently made for project life. I have been a bit behind. Hopefully now I will remember to write down what happened during the week. I also want to share with you the template for free. I will post a link so that you can download it.

Here is my FiloFax Domino Pink Personal. It’s more of a pink than red but I didn’t have good lighting in the room.

This is the front of my Filofax. I attached some slim washi tape and each color coordinates with a family member or subject. For instance, any doc appointments or anything school related  for my older son I use the blue washi and anything relating to my newborn is green. I also love that you can write on them. I also created the shopping list tab.

I decorated the week of August 5th with floral and lace washi tape. My friend recently went to the MUJI store in Manhattan

and picked up a checklist stamp for me. She is awesome! You can see on the left page the checklist I made and on the right side you can see the MUJI stamp.

Here is my Hi-Tec-C Coleto pen. It is a 4 barrel and the inks I have are

Cherry Red, Aqua Blue, Apple green (all 0.3) and a pencil (0.5)

I do plan to get another one of these and add other colors to it.

Instructions:This is a word document resized to 7.50 x 6.75.

This is how I print these inserts out. First I cut up the copy paper to 7.50 x 6.75. I then first print out page one and insert the paper again and print out page two on the other side. Depending on the type of printer you have will determine how you insert the paper to print side 2. There might be some trial and error. DOWNLOAD here  projectlife

Hope you enjoy!!!!!Please redirect anyone interested in this template to my site. Thank you!!!!

VSC #14 “Something Twine” Challenge

Good morning crafters!!!! Wow we are now in August so you know what that means! A new challenge over at our challenge blog.

This month’s theme is something twine. We want to see how you use twine on your creations. As a mom of a newborn and a six year old I was thinking of an easy and fast CAS card to make. I came up with this card using some solid twine (available on my online shop). It is super easy to make. All you need is your fave sentiment, a few different color twine, sequins and white cardstock.
